But all in all no solos are definitely the best option. Even Slash's is boring, except when he plays godfather or some blues that actually has melody. Exactly plus he played it, from what I saw, as a bridge like section during Rocket Queen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking brutal.. i couldn't agree more, his little add in's and non musicianship on the epic songs in particular and mostly every song is baffling the guy not only sucks but isn't a team player in how he plays - HE PLAYS BY HIMSELF AND IS NOT A MUSICIAN he is no more than a DIVE BAR DRUMMER !!!!! SORUM on the other hand is classically trained and is proficient in keeping a very solid tone to all of his drumming and is exquisite at keeping time at a thrashing pace and can even tone it down on slower numbers where his drumming just fits fine steven is good for the sloppy rock songs but in the long run Sorum was perfect for Axl's long term vision just look at estranged here and maybe Frank the Butcher can see what it takes to be a master musician where the drumming is absolutely perfect Edited July 19, 2017 by double talkin jive mfkr 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Thing Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Sorum is awesome. Drum solo was mediocre but the band jam after that was glorious. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManetsBR Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Frank is awful. He has no idea what the vibes of the songs are and he kills some very important momentuns. He plays everything the same way. Steven was the right choice from the beggining, and Axl made good choices with Freese and Brain, but both Sorum and Frank were terrible picks. Though I think Sorum had improved a lot by the time of Contraband. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ceres Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I liked Matts drum solos during the UYI tour. They were great. I think most that were there would agree. Wish he was with the band now instead of Ferrer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MD: At our last interview, in 1991, you were just about to embark on your first Guns N' Roses tour. What was that whole experience like? Matt: My first show with them was at a huge stadium - 175,000 people. I had played big gigs with The Cult in the late '80s but this was something else. I remember Axl had his guy call me at the hotel right before the gig, "Matt, Axl would like you to do a drum solo tonight." So I thought, "Okay, I'm going to do a drum solo in front of 175,000 people! I'm in Brazil, they love drums. If I get into more of a rhythmic, group participation sort of thing, it'll be effective." So Axl introduced me as the new guy - "The Assassin," he called me - and all of a sudden about fifty spotlights hit me. I launched into every drum solo lick I ever knew. Fifteen minutes later, I was still going - the sound, the PA, the people made it seem so surreal. I thought about when I saw John Bonham at the Forum and all the great drummers and drum solos I'd seen back in the day. I remember kicking quarter notes on the bass drum, standing up and clapping my hands - and there were 175,000 people's arms up in the air clapping with me. They kept clapping, so I soloed to that. Then I kicked the band into "You Can Be Mine," which had that big drum intro. We did two nights, and the second night I soloed even longer. I remember looking over to the side of the stage and Axl was standing there, ready to come back on, and I was thinking, Hey man, you can wait. I soloed every night after that. http://www.snakepit.org/mattmdint.txt Edited July 19, 2017 by Blackstar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To beat a dead horse, Sorum is more competent and versatile. With Velvet Revolver, in my opinion, he also contributed important and effective backing vocals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

double talkin jive mfkr Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) This is a very trivial topic and not relevant at all to GNR and the overall impact that Sorum contributed to the band It's like picking out one fucking small detail of a grandiose masterpiece to fling shit and be bitter I think the OP must have some sort of hidden agenda here or is just being a typical back seat quarterback Edited July 19, 2017 by double talkin jive mfkr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
